Chuan decides to go to a bar on a Friday night. Initially, Chuan is very happy to spend a night out. However, at the bar, he accidentally bumps into another man and spills his drink. This man becomes very angry, because he infers that Chuan intentionally knocked into him in order to spill his drink. In this scenario, what is the best example of a causal attribution

Answer:

the other man's inference that Chuan deliberately knocked him over

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory of causal attribution explains that people would put the blame on the cause of a behaviour on those factors that are closely related with that behaviour.

This theory says that the cause of a behaviour could be situational or it could be dispositional. The best example of a causal attribution here is this man saying chuan knocked into him intentionally.
